Answer:

8 rotation will the tires made after frank rides 50 ft.

Explanation:

Given: The tire on franks bike moves 75 inches in one rotation.

If bike of tire move 75 in then rotation of wheel is 1

In 75 in of tire move = 1 rotation

In 1 in of tire move =
(1)/(75) rotation

Now we change 50 ft into inches

1 ft = 12 inches

50 ft = 12 x 50 = 600 inches

In 1 inch of tire move =
(1)/(75) rotation

In 600 inch of tire move =
(1)/(75)* 600=8 rotation

Hence, 8 rotation will the tires made after frank rides 50 ft.
